ABSTRACT:
An auger flight support includes a mounting portion having an arcuate concave surface adapted to be fixedly mounted around at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of an auger shaft adjacent to a flight extending along a helical path around the shaft, and a support portion in connection with the mounting portion, including an outwardly extending edge positioned and oriented for abutting and affixing to a radially outwardly extending edge of a flight of an auger when the mounting portion is mounted around at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the auger, for supporting the flight and forming an extension of the flight beyond the edge thereof, and so as to be capable of more effectively transferring and distributing loads from the flight for reducing occurrences of fatigue related failures.
